The American Petroleum Institute (“API”) blog energy tomorrow has an August 23rd post titled Energizing Arkansas (“Article”).
The Article is authored by Mark Green of API.
Mr. Green’s post notes that the State of Arkansas is:
. . .among the country’s top 15 states in overall energy production, Arkansas had a more than 400 percent increase in natural gas output from 2005 through 2015 – thanks to safe hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling in shale and other tight-rock formations. By itself Arkansas accounted for 3.5 percent of U.S. Gas production.
Mr. Green notes that as to consumption, coal, natural gas and nuclear electric were the top fuels used by Arkansas in 2014 (according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. He further notes that the state’s net electricity generation in 2015 was led by natural gas (27 percent) and nuclear (26 percent).
